Member Profile Page?

Ask the community

In a simple yes/no answer, using the Code feature, would you say:

  1. It is now possible to have a page that pulls and renders the following examples of a formation from the website user database in a unique way for each user?
    User’s entered name
    User’s phone
    User’s uploaded file(s)

  2. If #1 is now possible somehow, can the user also be given access to modify these values for their own user profile within that member database?

  3. If #1 is directly not possible with the Wix member database, can it be done via a workaround? What about #2?

Thanks

As a follow up:

Can user input fields be specified to keep showing previously entered data by each user to themselves as long as their cookies are not erased? I am going to guess the answer is no just looking at permission options, it does not seem like I can make any bit of data specific to a unique user, but only groups of them at best at this time. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Omid,

If I understand you right, the answers are yes, yes and yes (the first two without coding, the 3rd requires coding).

First of all, the Author permissions means that only the user who has written a value in the DB can also modify it (only that user and the site admin). This means that you can have values that a user writes (email, phone, links to uploaded files) that only he or she can see, modify or delete.

If the page with those controls is also marked as a site members protected page, you get the behavior you asked for in #1 and #2.

As for the follow up - Wix Database allows to store values that are “out of schema” - that is, any json value can be stored as javascript members of the stored item. This will require some coding to create a UI for custom fields and the logic to read it and store it in the DB. Data binding (a Dataset) does not support this idea and only support declared fields, so again you will have to code the data reading and writing using the wix-data APIs.

I am dizzy with delight! This is huge for gamers/social network/business directories and I been wishing for it for years.

We just added a new article demonstrating how to create a member profile page for each of the registered users of your site.

We’d appreciate any feedback on whether or not you find the article helpful.

Sam, I have FINALLY successfully implemented the Login/My Profile member page but I have three issues:

  1. In the database connection menu I want to change the Stay On This Page to my site’s HOME page. The only choice is a Link, but clicking on lick adds a link to the submit button which Breaks this?

  2. If I use the Tab key when filling out the form, it randomly jumps to different input boxes, even though the boxes are named input#1, input#2 etc…

Hi,

  1. Using wixLocation.to() will do the trick.
  2. Not related to wix code - Please see Wix Support article about making you site accessible.
